Elon Musk might be the king of making headlines, but even he couldn’t outshine his son, X Æ A-12, who also managed to snatch the spotlight from Donald Trump.

Little X wasn’t bothered with the high-stakes political drama during the Oval Office hangout Tuesday -- he was too busy living his best life chilling on dad's shoulders while Trump tried to soak in the excitement of the tiny guest.

The Oval Office ain't just for big decisions ... it’s also prime playtime territory as X demonstrated by trying to disappear behind the Resolute Desk like it was the best hiding spot ever.
